Electrophysiologic Testing 3e

by Richard N. Fogoros

Book Overview

Because cardiac arrhythmias are common and EKG testing is very lucrative for the cardiologist and primary care physician, non-electrophysiologists often need a basic understanding of electrophysiology when deciding whether to refer patients for testing. This book is a concise guide to the indications for and use of electrophysiologic testing in cardiology. The author clarifies the role of electrophysiology in the evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias...

Customer Reviews

Superb coverage of things electrophysiologic!

As a pediatric cardiology fellow, I found this compact text invaluable. Dr. Fogoros writes in a manner that is easily understandable without being pedantic, straightforward without dismissing important details. His explanations of the anatomic substrates of arrhythmias, of the pharmacology of the conduction system, and of the routines used in the EP lab are fantastic. These are things that are typically quite elusive for the aspiring cardiologist, but after reading his text it was as if someone had turned on a light in a dark room. I only wish he had written more about pacemakers, but overall the amount of practical and helpful information and insight packed into this book is amazing.

Handbook of Cardiac EP by Murgatroyd

By far the best EP book written in my opionion. If you're a layperson to EP and trying to get a handle on what the EP is doing and how we all fit into the puzzle, this is the book for you. Great illustrations, tracings, and easy explanations adjacent to the pictures for better learning.

Wonderful EP book

I used this book during a month of electrophysiology during my PGY-1 year. It's a wonderful introduction, and I highly recommend it. Fogoros' prose is very readable.

Great Reference

Great reference to those just learning EP or who are new to the field. We used it for training of nursing staff in EP and for general cardiology fellows. The book is easy to read and has done an excellent job of making some of the more difficult concepts understandable.

EP demystified

This book is a must if you're trying to learn about EP - scientific reduction at its best.
